Beginning:
The dark stone walls and the fat toad-like structure of Gopshall contrasted sharply with the stunning white country landscape.Friday 56:
"Morning, night or noon.We have nothing to do."I am spotlighting a book sent to my by the author for review. Death of an Aristocrat by Anya Wylde is a humorous historical mystery. Here is the description from Amazon:
"We have a killer to catch."
The gossip columns can talk of nothing else, and even the Regent is intrigued. The murder of Lord Beazley at Gopshall Manor has caused a sensation, and the fact that two sweet governesses could have done it has further tickled the nations bloodthirsty soul. Lucy Anne Trotter, who stands accused, steals a horse and hurtles off to convince the only man in the country who can save her bacon— the national hero and the most handsome man in England, Lord William Hartell Adair. With him by her side, she sets out to discover the Gopshall family’s secrets and the murderer.In true Anya Wylde style, plenty of madness, kisses and burning breeches make an appearance. It’s a carriage ride not to be missed.
